JAKARTA - One of the drivers in a convoy of luxury cars on the Andara Toll Road, Akbar Rais, came to the Traffic Directorate of the Polda Metro Jaya. The goal is to straighten out the police statement about having stopped to take pictures.

"The first news that circulated was that we stopped at the toll road and took pictures. Now we have clarified that we never stop on the toll road," Akbar told reporters at Polda Metro Jaya, Monday, January 24.

Akbar said, what actually happened the convoy of vehicles was stopped because the officers had stopped them. Thus, this causes congestion.

"We stopped at that time because we were approached and dismissed. So we don't stop at the toll road, we want to clarify that, you know," he said.

In fact, to clarify some evidence was brought. For example, video recordings from several sources that show actual events.

"So we also show our video. So from two sides," said Akbar.

Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya ensures that their action against the convoy of luxury cars on the Andara Toll Road is not without reason. Moreover, the toll road operator PT. Citra Waspphutowa contacted them.

"The convoy of vehicles taking documentation while walking uses 2 lanes and the 3rd lane is used by public transportation, but the toll road manager sees from CCTV that the convoy fills all lanes," said Head of PJR Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya Kompol Sutikno, Monday, January 24.

Referring to what they saw from CCTV, the toll road manager immediately contacted PJR to take action. The management patrol was on the way to the convoy and blocked the car that was doing the documentation, causing the convoy to slow down.

"The PJR patrol arrived at the scene and stopped the convoy by closing the lane and directing the convoy to pull over and giving other vehicles to pass," said Sutikno.

"One of the convoy on behalf of Mr. Akbar communicated with PJR members and apologized for carrying out documentation activities without the permission of the Desari Toll road manager (PT. Citra Waspphutowa)," he asserted while explaining that the documentation process for this car group was carried out while walking, not stopping at toll lane.
